Drippy
Did an oil change on Sunday and have a small but not constant drip. Must happen after a drive when oil is hot and thin. Would it be worth giving the sump plug a bit of a turn.? It's pretty tight at the moment and I dont want to shred the thread - I have had that happen before!

Re: Drippy
Did you replace the copper washer before putting the sump plug back in?
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it!

Re: Drippy
Your point is ?
Totally valid post title. Better than some of the ones on here full of typos.

Re: Drippy
Dripping sump plug would be more apt.

Re: Drippy
'Could be anything' is a bit far fetched. Drippy would tell anyone with half a brain it refers to some sort of liquid. May not be the most verbose title, but its better than posts with titles like 'Help'
Anyway this is getting tedious now.

Re: Drippy
torqued up right?
a previous hint from kevtherev - try a layer of ptfe tape before putting sump plug back - helped me out -
